CA3 pyramidal neuron (Safiulina et al. 2010)

In this review some of the recent work carried out in our laboratory concerning the functional
role of GABAergic signalling at immature mossy fibres (MF)-CA3 principal cell synapses has
been highlighted. To compare the relative strength of CA3 pyramidal cell
output in relation to their MF glutamatergic or GABAergic inputs in postnatal
development, a realistic model was constructed taking into account the different
biophysical properties of these synapses.
